Visual Poetry-Essence of Fashion Illustration.

Fashion Illustration is Unique. The ideas, practice and concepts that drive this genre of work are not easily defined. Fashion Illustration documents a window in time, presenting trends and fashion through a historical perspective. It revolves around a fascination with the figure, its form, gesture, movement and grace, filtered through the lens of fashion. Traditionally, stylization has been the guiding force behind this fascination, grounded in a foundation of figure drawing and anatomy, revealing the spirit and essence of the figure.

Today, the fascination with the figure and fashion continues, but is now played against a backdrop of new techniques, technologies, and concepts resulting in work that is graphic, dynamic and blurs the boundaries between high and low art. Themes such as abstraction, mythology, and fantasy, whether representational, expressive or minimal are projected through the personal vision of the artist.

It is an exciting period for Fashion Illustration as this genre of art continues to evolve with captivating images that nurture the imagination, grace the page and charm the viewer, in essence visual poetry.

I had the privilege of documenting Ralph Rucci's Spring 2011 Collection. Ralph's salon is a treasure trove of art, sculpture, creativity, inspiration and of course those ethereal creations.

SKETCHBOOK WORK

I have a ongoing fascination with the human form and figure. The play of light and shadow or a simple nuance of a gesture speaks volumes. I use my sketchbook as a vehicle to explore ideas, memories and life through line, energy and various media.

Sketchbook Series

A Sketchbook has always been my constant companion. I love the concept that a black book of white sheets has a continuum and eliminate the desire to be precious. Preciousness suffocates invention.
